This month’s Students of the Month at Chambers have something in common: a big love for pasta and Piada!

Laiden Al-Sakur

Laiden, a 9 year old 4th grader at Indianola Informal K-8, started playing piano when her brother started playing guitar.

“I heard that my great grandma and grandma both played the piano,” she explains. “We even have her piano still in our house.” She enjoys playing songs that are familiar. “The Russian Sailor Dance is my current fave,” she says. So far, her favorite experience has been playing songs for her family. Her goal: “I want to know all the notes by hearing the sounds.” She loves reading, playing Trivial Pursuit and Uno and would like to meet Beyonce.
